Hi,
I am very pleased to have found this module, it seems to fit what I need, but I would just like to clarify a point or two. We are using drupal as a customer services site so our onsite engineers log in and give a description of what has broken & fixed etc and do updates, explanations etc. Later, we export this and print an invoice. We are hoping we can use this to create an invoice on the fly and print on-site immediately.
Some questions:
1. Does this use normal security, e.g. so only the users able to view the node itself can also view the pdf?
2. Does fillpdf create a new pdf each time on the fly or are they stored (or can be?). I am thinking about archiving for later auditing.
3. Could we somehow email this pdf out automatically?
4. Could you use a check box on the form to select the form or append other forms? (For example, say the call out was to do with Viruses, we would like to include a virus info sheet with the invoice).
any which way, I think we'll be using this module - how can we make a donation or sponsor it?
Thanks,
Paul.

Hey guys, I'm totally out of of business for the next month or two. Graduating and job-hunting -- soon as I settle, I'll be back on to fix bugs

In addition to this (i'd especially love emailing the pdf out automatically - trying to figure out how to do it through Triggers)...
Is there any way that, if you're using webform/webformtokens, the site admin can download a pdf using the submission number AND/or rather than the node id? My pdf has the user filling out a webform that generates a filled-out pdf contract for them to print, but I need to be able to get a copy to myself as well without them having to email it to me. The best way that I can figure is include a variable for node/submission id of the webform in the download URL, but i'm not sure how to go about doing it.
Thank you!

I would love to see this feature implemented too! Besides this, there must be some way to limit users to being able to download only PDF files generated from their own data. Right now there's no such restriction and anyone who knows the URL can download PDF files generated by any user. The developer seems rather busy. Is there someone else who can take care of this. This is an excellent module and adding these features would greatly improve the usability of this module.

Vic,
I was re-reading the FillPDF module form and think you might have found a solution to a problem of mine... You were talking about the need for access permissions, and said that anyone who knows the URL to a PDF can get a form filled with anyone else's information. I'm desiring to run a website where a user fills out a form, which generates a PDF via FillPDF that they can download - but I need a copy of the form as well (it's a contract agreement). Giving them a dynamic link to download the PDF after filling out the form is easy, but I can't manage to get pull that same info/link when logged in as the admin.
Any help from anyone in fact would be seriously appreciated.
